While I don't think much of physical destruction either, the "encrypted
storage" method might be problematic for legal reasons, at least in the
UK. If the police were to ask you to provide encryption keys (which they
are now allowed to do), and you have "lost" the keys, they can put you
away, even if the data on the drive would not have incriminated you.
Thoughts? Anyone from the UK?
